I agree. Plus it was an instrumental, which I prefer to ones with lyrics.

Acapalla version of the Growing Pains theme

Eight Is Enough - Grant Goodeve's singing was horrible I like the instrumental theme, seasons 1 and 2, was better

The Friends theme was okay at first, but then after they played it on the radio 10x an hour and you learned that the group that recorded it didn't even like it, then you sort of realized how much it sucks.

Eight is Enough - the show sucked enough by the middle of its run, but it was worse when they had to go and add lyrics to the theme song sung by Grant Goodeve.

The Ropers - the opening credits show tell you something. The minute I saw the opening credits on this god-awfl spin-off of TC, it made my ears and eyes bleed and cry.

Charles in Charge - the theme song, especially the 1st version really creeps me out and it still does to this very day. I get nightmares from hearing this version excessively.

Diff'rent Strokes the ABC-era version - the final season of DS sucked so bad enough that since NBC had such a tight grip w/ the copyrights of the 1st theme song that it forced Alan Thicke and Co. to remake the DS theme song and the final result...another big reason why S8 of DS really sucked.

Dear John - UGH! I have always cringed in my chair at the god-awful singing in this show's theme song! To this day, I still cringe at this show's theme song!

Roseanne - I have for some reason always seem to cringe at the theme song of this show. Roseanne's laugh always made me cringe, but the final version from its 9th season w/ the awful singing from John Popper really did it for my ears.

Hangin' w/ Mr. Cooper (Soul Man) - I liked "Soul Man" but it definitely looks out of place in the intro credits of Hangin' w/ Mr. Cooper. But many people hated this show's theme song from 1994-97 even more.

the friends theme was terrible because not only did it become a massive part of a tv show, but it was released as a 'fecking' pop record- which made it just as worse and so it got a lot of radio airplay, much to our dismay. i get sick of hearing that annoying tune

Just like some other sitcom themes that were released as singles:

WELCOME BACK KOTTER
LAVERNE & SHIRLEY
HAPPY DAYS

At least the L&S theme was great. I couldn't stand hearing the other two.

I can't believe that people actually bought HD. :rolleyes: I heard it on the radio the other day and it was horrible. The L&S theme was HOT when it was released. I bought an album back then, of tv theme songs because that song was on there. :cool:

The 1st FoL theme sounded like Mrs. Garrett and the girls selling a bunch of girl scout cookies...LOL!

And the 2nd DS theme was the worst-sounding updated theme between, DS, Silver Spoons, and FoL.
